Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The [husband's] only argument ... is that the [divorce] decree had become final prior to the time the motion [for attorneys' fees] was heard and that there was, therefore, no divorce action pending. From this it is argued that the court was without power to award counsel fees to [the wife].... The precise point has been ruled on adversely to [the husband] in Lamborn v. Lamborn [, supra,] 190 Cal. 794 , 214 P. 862 ..., where the supreme court held that because of the power to modify orders relating to alimony[,] a divorce case was deemed to be pending after the time for appeal had expired so that the court had jurisdiction to allow the wife counsel fees to resist a motion for modification of the alimony order and to prosecute an appeal from an order reducing her alimony.”
